WASTE OF PUBLIC MONEY.
The Idea That the Mississippi River
Can he Permanently Improved by
Contraction Works Alone Is Purely
Visionary and Theoretical.

Ane lueh lhau tue NlIsslsslppl IttVel
Can he Permanently improved by
Contraction Works Alone Is Purel,
Visionary and Theoretical.
The Secretary of War transmitted tc
Congress communication from the Mis-
sissippi River Commission submitting re
marks upon the requirement Of the river
and harbor act Of Aug. 5, 1886, "That nc
works Of bank protection or revetmen,
shall be executed anywhere on the Missis
sippi rivW until after It shall be found tina,
the completion Of the permeable contract.
ing works will not secure the desired sta.
bility Of the river tanks"
The communication says this require.
ment Is based Oh the totally unrecognized
theory that river II once regulated will
not scour Its natural banks. On this gen.
eral observation as applied to the Missis.
sippi 1t says:
that the Mississippi river can be permanently
improved by contraction work alone is purely
visionary and theoretical, contradic,ed by ex'
perience and not supported by any good au'
thority. To adopt such system Is, In the
opinion OF the commission, to waste public
money.
In the work which has been done in the
Plum Point a"d Lake Providence reaches the
lilly recommended by the commission and
which embraces the combination of permeable
contracting work aud bank protection as a
means of narrowing and deepening the chan.
mel has been applied.
Notwithstanding that this work has been
carried on under great difficulties, the result
Of Hoods and failure of appropriations, the
deepened channel has been mainta ained con.
tinuously through the improved portions of
these reaches, which were formerly the worst
places oil the river
In the oplnion of the comm ission this result
could not have been obtained by permeable
contracting works alone.
Attention is called to the failure Of Con-
gress, at its last session, to make provision
for the payment Of the expenses Of the
commission and the consequent impossi.
bility Of making much desired inspections
Of the work. Attention is also called to the
fact that the works at Plum Point and Lake
Providence reaches have seriously deterio
rated during the absence of appropriations,
and a request is made that the estimates
called for in the last annual report be
allowed

struck at the already meager incomes OF
the sea port consuls, and 1t passed without
much opposition, while every single meas
ure looking to neediul reform and an in
crease In the consular incomes has been
ignored.
Having seen who were the first five con-
suls appointed, It may be interesting to
Know Eao who were the last five. They were
Edmund Edmund Johnson, Of New Jersey, Kehl,
Minnesota, Chin Kiang, China, Nov.
II, 1885; Charles 7. Grellet, Of Calf
fornia, Algiers, Nov. II, 1885; Chas. Jonas,
OF Wisconsin, Prague, Austria, Nov. Ia,
1885; Herman Koenigsberger, Of Texas,
consular agent at Mayaquez, Porto Rico,
Dec. 2s, 1886. OF these A. G. Jones has
been for long time in the service, and
has made good record. After having
been recalled by the new administration,
the President and Secretary were made
cognizant of the excellent career he had
made, and consequently reappointed him
to the service and sent him to the important
post at Chin Kiang.

PUBLIC PRINTERS REPORT.
He Wishes to Pay the EMPLOYEES Semi
MONTHLY.


Monthly.
Mr.. Benedict, the public printer, yester-
day submitted his report for the last year
TO Congress.
He says that he did not take charge until
September, when he found the Office well
equipped, and In the hands Of competent
and intelligent men, but that number of
improvements are now necessary In order
to enable him TO do more work. One OF
the greatest deficiencies ia a lack OF storage
room convenient to the office. He advises
that Congress provide storage rooms,
new boilers, and new material by special
appropriation. He also says that 1t Is his
desire to pay the employees semi'monthly
instead Of monthly, but this he cannot do,
because the public printer can only draw at
one time from the treasury an amount
equal to his bond Of 100000, which
amount is not sufficient. He then recon-
meuds that the bond be increased TO $780,
600 in order that semi monthly payments
may be made. He says that the $4,000
appropriated by Congress for the building
of storage room has not been expended,
because IL was not deemed 10 be sufficient.
He also says that he intends to put stop
to the practice of delaying reports for
months, which has been the custom hereto
fore.

The wisoonsin RIVER Imnrov.m.,,

Ihe WISCONSIN River Improvement.
A letter was sent to the House by the
Secretary Of War from the chief of engi-
neers, with copy of the report of the
board Of engineers for Notifications and for
river and harbor improvements, upon the
examinations and surveys of the Wisconsin
river from Portage to its mouth, giving the
results OF the Investigations that have been
made TO determine the practicability Of Sc
curing sufficient low water nayigable
depth In that river by contraction works in
It's bed, with other papers on the same sub
1ect. The opinion Of the board, In brief, is
that the results Of the Investigations are
decisively against this mode Of Improve
ment as applied to the Wisconsin river, and,
In consequence, It recommends that no more
money be expended upon dikes and wing
dams In the bed Of the river.
